4 rules, not 3.

1. A gun is always loaded
2. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
3. Never point the gun at anything you don't want to shoot.
4. Always be sure of your intended target and what's beyond it.



As wuz lurnt to me way back when, if you keep the damned thing pointed in a safe direction, all manner os st000pid can happen and all will be okay


There are (almost) no "accidental" discharges, only negligent ones.
 
Resetting the holster for the 10mm gummint model. A bit of neet'sfoot oil and a plastic bag over the firearm and a good week to sit and resize. The holster had sat empty for several months, so it's a kind of starting over period for it. It'll be fine.
 
Still no word on the shipment of my SAFN. Not sure what's up (or not up) with that.



Hmmmm . . . .
 
The problem is not materialism as such. Rather, it is the underlying assumption that full satisfaction can arise from gratifying the senses alone. Unlike animals whose quest for happiness is restricted to survival and to the immediate gratification of sensory desires, we human beings have the capacity to experience happiness at a deeper level which, when achieved, can overwhelm unhappy experiences.

~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama




You get there by realizing you are already there.

A couple of these jewels have popped up on the market. Never heard of them, not the Italian models.



The Italian M1 Garand: Denmark’s Cold War Service Rifle


After World War II, dozens of nations received M1 Garand rifles through U.S. military aid programs—but few integrated them into their national service as deeply as Denmark. Following the 1950 U.S.–Denmark Mutual Defense Agreement, the Danes adopted the legendary M1 as their standard-issue service rifle under the designation Gevær M/50, chambered in .30-06 Springfield (7.62×63mm).​




Danish Adoption and Procurement

Denmark initially received 20,000 M1 Garands on loan from the United States. Over time, this number grew significantly—by 1964, the country had purchased another 49,000 rifles from the U.S., including 1,000 M1D sniper variants. This made Denmark one of the largest European postwar users of the Garand.

But it wasn’t just American-made rifles in Danish hands. As part of NATO’s postwar arms standardization, Italy was selected to produce new M1 rifles for NATO partners. Denmark acquired an additional 20,000 rifles from Italy, manufactured by Beretta and BREDA—both known for their precision and high-quality postwar production.



Distinctive Features

The Italian-manufactured M1 Garands supplied to Denmark stand out for their unique Danish receiver markings, setting them apart from typical U.S. surplus rifles. These markings, along with the excellent craftsmanship of Beretta and Breda, make them particularly desirable among collectors today.

Importantly, Denmark never converted its M1s to 7.62mm NATO, a path taken by several other NATO members. Instead, they retained the original .30-06 caliber throughout the service life of the M/50.



End of Service and Surplus Sales

The Gevær M/50 remained in service until 1975, when it was officially replaced by the Heckler & Koch G3. However, Garands continued to be used in various roles for years, and it would take more than two decades before these rifles were finally released to the surplus market.
